Six-time GRAMMY winner Amy Grant revisits her critically acclaimed 1997 album, Behind The Eyes, exactly 25 years to the day of its original release, with a very special project: Behind The Eyes (25^th Anniversary Expanded Edition). Featuring the twelve tracks from the original album completely remastered, plus 18 bonus tracks, b-sides, demos and two brand new reimagined tracks by producer Keith Thomas, the album is available digitally as well as a triple-vinyl package with expansive narratives from Amy and producers Keith Thomas and Wayne Kirkpatrick (track listing below).  For a limited time, the vinyl package will also be signed and numbered by Amy.

“Snapshots of life…that’s what these songs are,” Grant recalls.  “Rediscovering so many unreleased tracks was like finding an old roll of undeveloped film 25 years after taking the pictures!”

Twenty-five years ago, Amy Grant released one of her most critically acclaimed albums, Behind The Eyes.  The album was a landmark release showcasing the singer-songwriter side of Amy and was one of the most honest and vulnerable grouping of songs in her award-winning catalog. Behind The Eyes was Grant’s twelfth studio album and upon release, debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Christian albums chart and No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and spawned two top 10 hits with “Takes A Little Time” and “Like I Love You”.  2022 marks the first time the original album and the 18 bonus tracks will be available on vinyl.

In support of the anniversary of the Behind The Eyes, Amy will launch a 25 city tour in September/October and each night will include several songs from the project.  Dates will be announced soon with all details available at amygrant.com.

Internationally recognized praise band Planetshakers globally releases GREATER today (Sept. 2) from Venture3Media (V3M). Available now at all major digital and streaming outlets via https://link.brddg.co/greaterlive, the album was recorded live at Planetshakers’ GREATER Conference in Melbourne, Australia earlier this year.

GREATER is a full production experience featuring the core Planetshakers worship team consisting of Joth Hunt, Sam Evans, Andy Harrison, Josh Ham, Aimee Evans, Noah Walker, Chelsi Nikkerud, Rudy Nikkerud and more. Produced and mixed by Hunt, who also wrote or co-wrote all but one title on the album, the 11-song recording was inspired by Pastor Russell Evans.

“Pastor Russell has a God-given theme for every year, and for 2022, the theme is ‘greater,’” says Hunt, who wrote the title track with Pastor Sam Evans. “In Planetshakers, we really try to connect with a theme that God has given us, tapping into the prophetic word that Ps. Russell shares.”

“God is greater! He is greater than any circumstance that we may face and our trust in Him will see us overcome any obstacle and see victory over every enemy that may come our way,” declares Pastor Sam Evans. “With this belief in our hearts and that declaration in our mouths, we will experience greater than our highest thoughts and prayers.”

Sharing more of the behind-the-scenes moments that inspire Planetshakers’ songs, Hunt says that one of his favorite worship tracks on GREATER, “Move In Power,” came during an inspired moment at a weekly staff prayer meeting: “What I love about our church is that we are always open to letting the Holy Spirit move and lead us. For this particular meeting, I was on the keyboards as we were praying, and then something just happened to me. I felt like heaven was opened up, and I started singing a prophetic song. Sometimes I would sing a song, and we would go back and tweak it. This song came exactly as it is on the album. It was such an anointed moment.”

Sharing a joyful celebration that infuses every part of the Planetshakers experience, the album also features “Beauty For Ashes,” “No. 1 Sound,” “Victory Of Jesus” (co-written with BJ Pridham), “Emmanuel” (co-written with Noah Walker) and the Harrison-penned “Psalm 23.”

“When you read the Psalms about praising God, it’s very descriptive,” notes Harrison. “Clap your hands all you people, shout to God with the voice of triumph, rejoice before him, dance before the Lord with all your might – scripture paints a picture of what praise should be like…a great celebration.”

Encouraging the church to not lose this celebration of praise, Planetshakers’ Joshua Brown adds, “When we offer praise, it opens up the atmosphere. Hearts are drawn to Jesus; there’s a hunger for his presence and we can receive from God.”

Avenue Trio – comprised of husband and wife, Kasey & Haley Kemp and Jonathan Mattingly – have released their latest project, Crucified. Magnified. Glorified.

This collection contains brand new recordings of songs that have found their way into churches across America and around the world – both beloved hymns alongside new worship songs.

From songs like “Christ Is Risen, He Is Risen Indeed,” to “Jesus Cares for Me,” and “It Takes Jesus,” and so much more, the music exists to bring the listener into a time of worship.

Group member Kasey Kemp says: “It’s not your everyday hymns project, that’s for sure. This is a true worship record. We invite the listener to join us as we sing songs of praise to the Father, not just songs about Him. With familiar hymns and new worship songs alike, this record has been carefully designed to bring a spirit of worship to your personal time with God.”

Whether new or old, each song contains lyrics that are rich in scripture, expertly delivered with stunning and exquisite harmonies.

The project is available now on all streaming platforms or via the groups website at www.avenuemusic.net.

The group continues their heavy schedule in support of the new project with upcoming appearances, including Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, Michigan, Ohio and more.

If you really want to get to know a person you should peep their playlist. Experiencing a collection of music they’ve curated for inspiration, entertainment, and emotional release can provide the listener with a profound understanding of the soul behind the sounds.

This is especially true when the subject of interest is a recording artist – hence the album Pronounced Pooh-Yole.

The project serves as a brief Eddy Puyol audio biography – sharing his successes under the “Rawsrvnt” stage moniker, educating audiences about how to say his last name, and providing a peek into his life filled with faith, family, and fortitude.

Selections include “It’s Over” which embodies Puyol’s family mantra to finish what you start, “Sigue Pa’ Lante” (used during ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast) now transformed into the 100% Spanish-language track he always desired with the help of reggaeton artist El Leo Pa´, the pop/trap/love record “To the Moon,” and “Forever Love” (a recent pick for Pandora’s “Dad Songs for Sons and Daughters” playlist).

The song Puyol is most excited to share is “This One’s for You.” This sunny, “Summertime”-esque track recounts his career as a full-time artist while cleverly sampling vocals recorded when Puyol was just 11-years old.

“This was where it all started – rapping with Ms. Mary’s ‘Kid ‘N Posse’ youth group team back at Word of Life Church,” Puyol recalled. “I sampled her voice for the record too. It’s a special memory for me and, hopefully, a jam for you.”

The track’s visual component is comprised of performance and personal highlight reel footage. It was shot by Will Thomas of Space Cherry Films (in a first time collaboration) at Tommy “Urban D” Kyllonen’s Crossover Church where the duo utilized the facility’s brand-new, state-of-the-art 30 foot x 10 foot LED screen as a backdrop.

Both the “This One’s for You” video and Pronounced Pooh-Yole are now available. Look for it on your favorite digital service provider platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, etc.) and Eddy Puyol social media sites.

Earlier today, Elevation Worship released LION: Live From The Loft. The ten-song album is a one-of-a-kind creation, featuring some new material alongside six reworked songs from this year’s LION album released in March.

Earlier this summer, the Elevation Worship team brought their church community to a newly restored barn near their home base in Charlotte, NC. In the barn’s loft, they gathered to worship and LION: Live From The Loft came to fruition, offering different acoustic versions of LION songs such as “Same God,” “What I See,” “Forever YHWH,” and the title track.

“It was an amazing time to spend a day worshiping together in that space as a church family,” Chris Brown, Elevation Worship’s worship leader and one of their primary songwriters, shares. “We just pressed record as we worshipped and now we have these alternative versions from LION along with some new songs.”

One of those new songs, “Lamb,” aptly merges with the title track. “I love having this partnering song that magnifies another facet of who Jesus is,” Brown explains. “In Scripture, we see Jesus not just as Lion but also the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. This song is a call to surrender our lives for a greater purpose and mission: total devotion to Jesus.”
